Hays Communities YMCA,

465 Buda Sportsplex Drive, Buda, TX 78610

"Love this Y! Only thing that didn’t get a star for was their pools. During the winter the indoor pool was so cold and the heated pool was out of service."

"Updating my review because the folks at the Hays YMCA have made changes to their layout and it is much more functional now. I appreciate that they listened to the feedback and moved the weight room. Now there are mirrors so one may monitor their form while lifting! Hooray!"

"It pains me to give a somewhat negative review, based selfishly on my needs. This is a great place to come - except for me. I came here 5 days a week average to do cardio beginning in July 2023. I did cardio in the center of a big open room with numerous windows and several large TVs. There was a mix of cardio and weight machines. Then came the layout change, cardio was booted out of the big room. Half of the high-end Precor ellipticals (20 angle settings) were replaced with lower end non-electrical ellipticals (1 fixed angle). On it, I stare at a brick wall, with walls on either side of me. All of the cardio machines are in this one windowless room, and my 3 Precors are tucked away so deeply I feel like I am being punished in timeout! If you are mostly weight lifting or doing weight machines, you probably love this new arrangement, I get that. It was probably laid out by a weight person, not a cardio person. Waaaah! Now I mostly go to Camp Moody YMCA even though it's an additional 12 minutes of driving, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the lush outdoors there. Hays, I love you guys, I did 100 workouts there in 2023 even though I didn't start until July. I hope to come back."

"The facility is clean and well maintained. I find the staff to be helpful and friendly. There is a pleasant mix of different age groups that creates a positive atmosphere. It has been a a real help to me in my quest to get back in shape and lead a healthy lifestyle."

"There are various activities for those who wish to stay active and be able to participate solo or in a group of people with the same mindset! The instructors are very knowledgeable and keep you focused on the exercises. Even the substitute instructors never skip a beat from the regular routine! It is easy to schedule a class to fit YOUR schedule. All the front office, custodians, and staff are very friendly, courteous, and make you feel Welcomed!"
